Match List-I with List-II andchoose the correct answer using the codes given below the lists: List-I List-II (Newly Elected Head (Country) of the State)A.Gitanas Nauseda 1. IcelandB.Luong Cuong2.VietnamC.Halla Tomasdottir3.LithuaniaD.Jose Raul Mulino4.Panama Codes: A B C D

A 4 1 2 3
B 3 1 2 4
C 3 2 1 4
D 2 1 3 4

Correct answer: (c) 3 2 1 4

Explanation

  1. A

    4 1 2 3

    Option A claims the order is 4 1 2 3, pairing Gitanas Nauseda with Panama. However, Gitanas Nauseda is the President of Lithuania, making this combination incorrect.

  2. B

    3 1 2 4

    Option B claims the order is 3 1 2 4, linking Halla Tomasdottir to Iceland and Luong Cuong to Iceland as well. This mismatch in country pairings rules out the option.

  3. C

    3 2 1 4

    Option C claims the correct matching is 3 2 1 4, which pairs Gitanas Nauseda with Lithuania (3), Luong Cuong with Vietnam (2), Halla Tomasdottir with Iceland (1), and Jose Raul Mulino with Panama (4). This sequence perfectly aligns all newly elected heads of state with their respective countries, and therefore this thoroughly verified option serves as the correct key.

  4. D

    2 1 3 4

    Option D claims the order is 2 1 3 4, incorrectly matching Gitanas Nauseda with Vietnam. Therefore, this sequence fails to provide the accurate matching.

Summary. Official key is (c) matching the newly elected heads of state with their respective countries. Gitanas Nauseda is the President of Lithuania (3), Luong Cuong serves in Vietnam (2), Halla Tomasdottir is associated with Iceland (1), and Jose Raul Mulino leads Panama (4). Aspirants often confuse leaders of smaller European nations like Iceland and Lithuania. Careful verification of international appointments ensures accurate elimination of incorrect options. Thus, option (c) correctly provides the exact code combination 3 2 1 4.
